Noble Tornado Shelter Plans

Tornado Shelter Plans Noble

Virtually every state in the U.S. is subject to tornadoes, hurricanes, or both. The intense winds that accompany these tornados could cause extensive damage to structures and endanger the lives of building occupants. Safe rooms designed to FEMA guidelines provide near- absolute protection from wind forces of up to 250 miles and from the impact of associated wind borne debris.
